I'm experiencing all of the noted issues as well, in all pve zones. It makes veteran Crypt of Hearts relatively unplayable in the never-ending trash and boss fights. Combined with the keyboard/mouse ceasing to function bug, it makes everything else nearly unplayable.

I love the game, but these bugs, and a host of others need to be fixed immediately lest the remaining players decide to go elsewhere.

We just finished pushing a hotfix for the FPS issue. We've done as much as we can in a hotfix to alleviate the issue. The impact will vary—you may see noticeable improvements or marginal ones. This is by no means a final or complete fix to the issue, but we felt it important to do what we could in the short term now. We’re continuing to work on performance improvements that we’ll roll out in upcoming patches. We’ll keep you updated as we make more progress, and we thank you for your patience. quote]

Actually, after getting hotfix forgot to open the Command Prompt for my PC and enter ipconfig /flushdns and when I did I was in a battle without the big slowdown. Fingers crossed.

Edit: Went OK until prolonged fight inside keep. Didn't get the world freeze or the slide-show effect, but still really choppy.

Re-Edit: Group that stole a scroll right in front of me with support from allies closing in, and.... world freeze/crash.

I hope to Molags Balls(god) that @ZOS_HugoP is confirming the issues talked about in this thread are related to the FPS issue and that it's not another case of failing to read the thread. Because my FPS is fine, running the same as always, i'm just waiting forever for all the textures and player models to load walking around an empty city for a minute or 2 before "POOF" ahh there they are....

I hate to quote myself but...now that we have the lovely FPS hotfix that did nothing to help as this issue is not FPS related, could we please have someone look into this entirely different problem described in this thread?

yeah...I think I'm done. I have given plunty of money and the game keeps getting worse and worse, to the point unplayability. I mean from broken classes/quests to long over used blatant exploits/hacks to complete and utter server failure. Your breaking more then you fix with every patch! I actually believe people should be geting thier money back. That's how bad this has gotten.
Hell, even the Bots have jumped ship.

Environment object visual desync has gotten to the point where even in trash mob PvE i cannot see what I am hitting.

Visual FX (Impulse, Healing Springs, even weapon swapping) do not appear for several seconds after the ability is cast or the model changes.

Enemy NPCs are dead before i even see them (good thing I know their exact spawn points eh?) meanwhile they were dealing damage I could feel but not see.

Enemy players literally never load because they move so much, only a player standing stock still and not doing anything will render.

Hey ZOS I just tried to play after the hotfix and I'm still getting

-No spells animation
-no weapon swap animation
-invisible mobs
-delayed audio
-when i get damaged it dont show on health bar
-many random loading screens
-even when deconstructing stuff the audio is delayed
-discovered x area screen messages not appearing

Your stupid hotfix needs a hotfix. I am so tired of all the bugs. I will not pay for a game that I am unable to play. I am one of the most patient people but even the most patient people have a breaking point. You guys constantly ask for patience I'm so tired of hearing that crap. You break more things then you fix and then tell your customers to have patience. Fix the issues fast because if I can't play soon I'm done.
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno
@ZOS_JasonL @ZOS_AmeliaR
Oh and my post will probably get moderated because whenever someone says something you guys don't like you change it

Im uber lucky... i dont get the invisible mobs.... just everything else...

9 days before next billing cycle on me... i will cancel if next patch is another failure..

Yeah, I was too optimistic with my last post. Things will be running kinda sorta decently for a while, and hope springs eternal, but it seems the slightest trigger involving flashy effects (fighting a spriggan, using abilities with big burst radii, etc) or just encountering several players or mobs at one time causes the FPS to dive again, and they don't recover without shutting everything down and starting up again, just to get another 10-15 minutes of almost normal gameplay. Dropping graphics settings to rock bottom does nothing to remedy this, either. And things just randomly take a really long time to load, scenery, mobs, weapon swapping (I once switched from sword/shield to bow and still saw the shield on my back while running around for probably 3 minutes before it finally updated), spell animations are hit-and-miss, and I've forgotten what enemy players even look like anymore, which is why I'm on an involuntary pvp vacation now. Sigh.

Why are rollbacks out of the question around here? Just reverse all the graphical changes that 1.2.3 brought in and test the heck out of them before putting them back in. I don't care about the occasional quest bugs (although the two most prominent lately were biggies, to say the least: Molag fight and Cyrodiil intro) or the odd quirks here and there, but performance issues are the best way to make me decide I'm just not enjoying the game experience, even though I really do like the game itself.

sigh zenimax fails to fix the game after so many patches still and still pushes through content patches like its no big deal..or atleast tries to push them through. cany fight in cyrodil as its a slide show cause devs at zenimax are useless.

Are these delays also the cause of my bow's knockback + disorientate often being just knockback? Is it managing to do knockback, disorientate, damage, rather than damage, knockback, disorientate, and therefore breaking the disorientate straight away ?

I am guessing that there may be a policy in place outlining a protocol for how and when to address in-game issues publicly in order to prevent incorrect information being shared or to ensure there is enough information for a proper response. And the folks who moderate here may also be needed elsewhere at times to assist in tracking down and responding to problems.

So yes, it does sound like saying "We're looking into it" is an easy thing to do, and it is from a physical effort required standpoint, but who knows what is going on behind the forum scenes. This is neither and indictment nor a defense of how things are or aren't handled by the forum admins, but for all we know they are waiting for approval to post something.

I can understand where you are coming from, but if you are a Community Manager and you don't have the authorisation to give a simple, I'll look into it and get back to you, then I have to say you're about as much use to the gaming community as a chocolate teapot.

I am however grateful from the response from Hugo, he does have a cool name after all.

Chocolate teapots... I love that. You wouldn't happen to be a regular over on the Ask A Manager blog, would you? There's a running joke about them there.

@rayvn03b14_ESO Not been to that blog before might have a mooch over though, yeah Tea Pots and Fireguards of the chocolate variety are not the best, and more than a little messy....

Is there anything we can do to help pin down the issue?

I seemed to have some improvement for a while by reducing shadows to Medium and deleting the ShaderCache.cooked file, but that was only temporary. (based on this Reddit post: http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/29k004/for_those_having_delayfps_issues_in_pve_zones/)

Is there logging we can switch on that'll help us find out what the game is struggling to do? If monsters/effects/building walls/furniture aren't appearing for seconds or even minutes, is it possible to find out what is bottlenecking it?

I'm not certain that the issue isn't just getting worse with each patch, rather than being totally new with 1.2.3. It reminds me of the LOTRO issues which led to them developing a dat defrag program to defrag their datafiles, which otherwise got fragmented and very slow as the game was patched. I think they later changed the way the game patched to stop this being needed. It was never as bad as this, however.

For me this started a few weeks in to Live, in fact from the second to last beta, I was unable to interact with anything in game then got booted, I managed to get around this with WTFasts vpn, moved a little over a month ago and changed ISPs which then negated the need to use the WTFast vpn.

I used to get stuck under stairs and other objects quite a bit, but the draw out in the wilds wasn’t too bad, then as I think has been mentioned, around Patch1.2.3
I stated to get major draw issues, invisible players, NPCs and Mobs, since which its gotten progressively worse, to now where there’s very little point in logging in as I cant actually do anything, which is a crying shame as I am now stalled in Coldharbour.

I do hope this gets sorted soon as I cant see the point in paying a sub for something which is fundamentally broken, no matter how much I want to support the game.

add me to the list of users experiencing this issue.

the thing that bugs me most now is the drop in fps during combat in pvp (which never happened before) plus the invisible stuffs hitting u

That last Hotfix didn't fix nothing to me so frames still drops to 5-6 in cyrodiil!
